Hartsville college sued over 5000 bequest claim in church dispute
Mabala Fix and heirs of Phillip Fix filed against Hartsville College in Bartholomew circuit court. The suit seeks the $5,000 bequest from Phillip Fix, conditioned on college remaining under United Brethren Church control, now disputed after a church split in 1889. Heirs allege the college is no longer under U B control due to radical faction governance. The case targets recovery of the donated notes and mortgages.
